    Thank you for posting this movie. My dad is the detective on the walkie talkie in the French trench coat at the airport waiting room. R.I.P. dad. He was 50 years old when this film made in 1979. I`m now 60 years old. Where do the decades go?!

      I wish he was alive and still making films, writing and directing . Orsen Wells was right, the man could have gone to the pinnacle of his profession money wise and fame,. MONEY AND FAME was not what he wanted. He was an innovator who created , The Prisoner, an incredibly powerful series about man's freedom.or the lack there of. He was a man ahead of his time . Brilliant a genius! So current today. The man was unique.He also was beautiful as well as a talented actor! I could be wrong but I have gleaned from his plays, films and few interviews he gave that he had a sharp wit, a passion for perfection,and relatively shy person. Acting freed him to be his inner self and express his brilliance.

We ALWAYS made crap and we always MADE masterpieces. No difference between what was made in the 60’s and what is made today. Stop looking down your uppity nostalgic filled nostrils and see movies for the individual works they are rather than juxtaposing your asinine time stamp on them.

"DOGS OF WAR" is far better at portraying this type of character, the solitary, disconnected merc against a bleak landscape. i'm glad to have watched it for the sake of ticking it off (even though i fell asleep numerous times) but it's simple not all that & i'm dead bang sure mcgoohan would have agreed; in fact he said as much in a quote about his opinion of his own filmography.

    when these actors do offbeat films like this then you see them at their best. meaning films which they do not usually get involved with. like edward fox in "the day of the jackal", sean connery in "the offence" and michael caine in "get carter". mcgoohan in this one. all were excellent character portrayals which stuck out in my mind above all their other film and theatrical performances.

    Very refreshing to see Patrick in a different role to that of Danger Man and the Prisoner.
    Found film a bit dark to watch (physically dark on my phone), but presumably this was done to create atmosphere.
    Scene with the fuse box to control lighting in rooms very clever - but how the voice telling him where to go to would work, I don't know.
    But in good watch in a gloomy atmospheric Ireland.

      it was played down by the sneaky british government due to its potential association with IRA activity going on in ireland and england at the time. they did not want it to garner wider spread sympathy for the IRA's cause.

    Liked this very much. Patrick McGoohan is, of course, always a favorite. Made more so by pairing with Lee Van Cleef for a most unusual result. The Eno score fits. No more, no less. I note the number of positive comments in support of the film.

    excellent stuff. McGoohan really looks Irish here (which he was, of course, but often does not look it in various roles), and reminds me of my grandfather. one thing though - he really aged quickly. this is only 12 years after the prisoner, but looks more like 25 years after. not a criticism, just an observation. main thing though -very diginified, intelligent film.

      La gente envejecía mucho más décadas atrás. Tiene mucho que ver con la dureza de pensamiento en la que crecieron, debido al contexto socio/económico en el que se desenvolvieron a tempranas edades. Además, la estética de entonces, echaba años encima y la alimentación también juega su papel. En fin... No es lo mismo tener 43 años hoy en día, que tener 43 años en 1970 (por poner un ejemplo).

      I read that alcohol got the best of him in later years. He was a very private man with many demons as well as talents. I would have loved to delve into his brain to learn what made him tick. The drum solo in one of his movies was all Patrick, no stand in. He also played the violin (Himself) in Jamaica Inn. No doubt he was an. extraordinary man .
